I don't know if they only said that kasi baka mabawasan sila ng work dahil di naman sirain ang inverter.[emoji2369]

I noticed some technicians and salesmen are a bit OA in my opinion when it comes to HP needed. Before I bought our AC the salesman asked for our floor area. He then said I needed a 1.5HP (which is the one I had in mind of getting), but suggested a 2HP to be safe. I thought it was overkill (and overbudget too). He said technicians may refuse to install and may void the warranty if they deem the area too big. I said, "eh di antayin na lang natin kung ayaw, isoli ko for a refund". He also suggested I a 2HP but non-inverter type, mas mabilis daw lumamig para tipid, which I refused as I felt he was pushing old, inefficient and likely non-selling items.

When the technicians came they also began measuring the floor area, and also warned me that I was I at their boundary (only less than 2sqm from their max limit). But they installed anyway. In reality, the room is now quite cold even when the AC is set at 24C.
